Nice little cabin
Easy walk to the beach, park, distillery and cabbage shed. It wasn’t clear there is not wifi but fine cell service. Nice place and comfy! Great spot to spend a long weekend up north!

Quiet Location Close to Town and Activities
The house was everything that was needed. A block from two different parks and a block from the Lake. A short walk from the Lake Michigan Shoreline. House was clean and in a quiet setting which made for a great nights sleep. Will look to see if this is available again for my next trip to NW Michigan!

Limey house
Liked being on the south side of Betsie Lake/Bay. Elberta is small but for us was perfect. Some traffic passes by the home due to Elberta Beach, the Furnace Street Distillery and a nice playground that's a easy walk from the house. Elberta beach is a gem. The very steep hill to get to it is walkable but most people drive to it. Pictures accurately show the small front yard but the nice front porch with extra seating area of wide boards was always shaded. The old abandoned house right across the street adds charm and views of the lake can be seen on either side of that house. The back deck on south side of house is very private and is out of the wind. A lovely home. I hope to stay there again.

quaint little house
My daughters, sister and I stayed with two kids and the house worked out well for us. We worried about only having one bathroom, but there were two sinks and plenty of mirror spaces for everyone to use. House was more spacious than anticipated and we loved the location (although hoping the abandoned houses near it will be fixed up in time because it's such a nice little town.

About the host

Host profile image
Out of all the places in the world I have traveled for business, I love northern Michigan and the waters of Benzie County the most. My wife is an interior designer and this rental home gave us the opportunity to completely renovate an authentic 1870's structure and transform it into a bright, colorful vacation cottage.

Why they chose this property

Elberta is near our primary residence and right on the water. The town is quaint and close to so many of the attractions that make coastal Northern Michigan famous, including a pristine Lake Michigan beach.

What makes this property unique

Expertly renovated and filled with light and color, this house has water views, fresh breezes and peaceful sunsets. Eagles soar overhead as you grill the day's catch and fix salad from the farmer's market.
